Dubai Opera is set to host a groundbreaking performance that redefines the boundaries of live entertainment. From May 9 to 11, 2025, audiences will witness the Dubai premiere of The Pulse, an award-winning production by the globally acclaimed Australian ensemble Gravity & Other Myths. Known for its raw physicality and emotive storytelling, The Pulse combines high-energy acrobatics, powerful choral music, and immersive lighting into a single, unforgettable theatrical experience.
A Symphony of Strength and Sound
At the heart of The Pulse is a breathtaking fusion of acrobatics, music, and light. The performance brings together 18 acrobats and 25 choir members in a seamless and mesmerizing display of human strength, harmony, and precision. Towering human structures shift and crumble, only to rise again amidst a pulsating ocean of voices. With dynamic lighting by Geoff Cobham and an evocative score by Ekrem Eli Phoenix, the performance creates a living, breathing system that connects acrobat, choir, and audience.
Critical Acclaim and Global Recognition
The Pulse has garnered international acclaim, winning three prestigious International Circus Awards — including Outstanding Production, Choreography, and Design. Critics have lauded the performance for its artistry and innovation, with Limelight’s Jansson J. Antmann noting, “the skill, artistry and daring on display is breathtaking.”
